ANOTHER POLICE "COMMANDER" DESERVEDLY SUED

Here's the story about another monster who deserves to be sued:
(IsraelNN.com) The commanding officer of the Mounted Police Unit, Superintendent Zevulun Hadar, is being sued for damages in civil court by a young woman who was trampled during the violent evictions from Amona in 2006. The case, filed in a Herzliya Magistrate's Court, is the first civil lawsuit against a commanding police officer stemming from the violence at the Amona protests.

The plaintiff, Rivka Turgeman, claims to suffer a 10 percent disability as a result of unjustified violence against her during the 2006 eviction of protesters prior to demolition of nine structures at the Samaria town of Amona. According to the action filed by Attorney Pinchas Maoz of the Yesha Human Rights Organization, Turgeman, 18 years old at the time of the protest, said she and dozens of other young women sat passively on the road into Amona on the night before the scheduled eviction. When the mounted police made their way towards the town along the road, according to Turgeman, one police officer purposely ran her down and several others trampled her under hoof.
Read the rest of it, and ask yourself: are these the kind of people you want to see the police hiring? The man should pay for his crimes, as should any other violent "officer" there whom you wouldn't want going out with your daughter.
